  • Daniel Steere: Turning BS Jobs into Purpose-Driven Work

    Daniel Steere: Turning BS Jobs into Purpose-Driven Work
    2025/08/13
    In this candid and energetic conversation, Daniel Steere unpacks what it really takes to “make work not suck.” From reframing “BS jobs” to uncovering dignity in every role, Daniel shares his Vision–Journey–Culture–Results framework and challenges leaders to think beyond quick wins. We dig into why purpose matters more than process, the hidden dangers of “hero culture,” and how the right mindset can transform even the most mundane tasks into meaningful work. Along the way, we tackle the leader–manager divide, the importance of superpowers over well-roundedness, and why “cool” is never a business plan. Whether you’re a CEO, a new manager, or someone wondering how to find meaning in your 9-to-5, this episode will give you the perspective (and push) you need to make your work matter.

  • Karen Valencic: The Physics of Conflict from a Black Belt Engineer

    Karen Valencic: The Physics of Conflict from a Black Belt Engineer
    2025/07/30
    What if mastering conflict could bring you more freedom, not friction? In this episode, Angela sits down with Karen Valencic—engineer, Aikido black belt, and author of Spiral Impact: The Power to Get It Done with Grace—to talk about why most of us misunderstand conflict and how to flip it into connection. Karen unpacks the difference between force and power, shares why confrontation is rarely the answer, and explains how a screw and a spiral can teach you more about leadership than a business degree ever will. From childhood survival roles to executive boardrooms, this conversation rewires how we think about tension, communication, and impact. If you’ve ever avoided a hard conversation, steamrolled your way through one, or felt stuck in a cycle of misunderstanding, this one’s for you.
